1) Lost Years is Magnus Larson from Avesta, Sweden. His enthusiasm for the 1980s, red wine and collecting Roland synthesizers has landed him a permanent spot on the Rosso Corsa Records roster. His music ranges from charming surprises to soundtracks for bad-ass newscasts. Both of these different sounds remain cohesive within the Lost Years aesthetic through the use of real 1980 synthesizers. Magnus has been professionally making 1980s-inspired music since 2008. Before he started collecting Roland synthesizers, Magnus spent his time playing guitar in the 80s punk and 90s hardcore scenes.
2) Lost Years is an alternative/punk rock band from Indiana, USA, formed by three friends in 2010. Since then the group has released one Acoustic LP through Capeside Records which led to Lost Years winning the Ernie Ball Battle of The Bands Acoustic Basement and being featured on the Indianapolis date of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour. In addition, Lost Years have released three full length records including the new album ‘Wish You Weren’t Here’, released in February 2023.

I've Lost My Marbles
Lost Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said to me "There's a train wreck running through
My head. It feels like were seventeen again cause I
Hate everyone and I just want to be alone but your
Everywhere and everyone I don't wanna be and I would
Hate myself if I never leave.
And my days drag on just fine
You cross my mind and I start sinking
Like old times. When you and I when we
Collide it's a train wreck every time.
When you say my name in that condescending
Way it makes me hate you more than I did yesterday.
I wanna break my fucking teeth on the concrete where
You said to me "You're every where and every thing
I don't want to be"
But those days are dead and gone
So move on from everywhere that you
Don't want to be. Cause I miss the old kid.
The one that didn't give a shit about tattoos and paying rent.
When you say my name in that condescending
Way it makes me hate you more than I did yesterday.
I wanna break my fucking teeth on the concrete where
You said to me "You're every where and every thing
I don't want to be"
Those days are dead and gone.
Those days are dead and gone.
Those days are dead and gone.
Those days are dead.
The lyrics to Lost Years' song "I've Lost My Marbles" depict a feeling of frustration, bitterness, and nostalgia after a relationship comes to an end. The singer expresses a desire to hurt themselves by smashing their teeth on the concrete where their former partner confessed they were overwhelmed with negative emotions. They feel haunted by the person, who is "everywhere and everyone" they don't want to be, but they also hate themselves for not being able to move on.
The chorus describes the intensity of the emotions that arise when the two former lovers cross paths: "When you and I when we collide it's a train wreck every time." The singer wishes they could go back to the simpler times when they were carefree and unburdened by adult responsibilities like paying rent, but acknowledges that those days are gone. Nevertheless, they hold on to memories of their past, feeling a visceral reaction when their former partner speaks to them in a condescending tone.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense that the relationship was tumultuous and left a lasting impact on the singer, who is struggling to reconcile their feelings of anger and longing for the past.
